But here he has done something else, using trademark laws to 'protect' speech. Almost makes me wish Stevie draws up an awesome mocking Tebow thing next time we play them.

HOUSE Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Geez, does anybody care about playing football anymore? Everybody has a gig,,,,,,,

Our government sucks Is this serious? If so, I agree...that's damn stupid. I don't even go to chick fil a anymore cause they are so damn annyoing there. There's a difference between being polite and providing good service, and being so over the top that it's nauseating.
Ramius Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 So what now? Any QB completing less than 40% of his passes now must pay tebow royalties?

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'm glad all the responses have been in good fun… so far. Not to jinx things but I don't expect that to last.
GoBills! Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 This is not going to go well for me ..I have church tomorrow...I'll add it to the collection basket....

There's a difference between being polite and providing good service, and being so over the top that it's nauseating. I stopped going to Chickfila because they charge $5 for a chicken sandwich. Is that to compensate for the high price of the pickle juice that they soak their chicken in?
